Made with hand-knotted wool and originating circa 1960-1970, this 7x9 vintage rug is an exciting new piece in Rug & Kilim’s Mid-Century Pasha Collection—a rare curation believed to hail from mid-century Turkish artist and icon Zeki Müren. On The Design:A particularly delicious chartreuse green tone underscores a borderless repeat of all over floral patterns, with hints of beige, teal, and black accents throughout. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this playful interpretation of traditional elements—such as a subtle influence from European trellises broken down into this more minimalist piece—that speaks to Müren as an eclectic designer and marks his rugs distinct in his period. It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a Müren rug, but also with the comfortable and livable undertone that his works also embody, so thoughtful in their approach to the postmodernist appeal of the time and collectible in his suspected works curated today.Condition: This mid-century rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile height has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and boho chic in the nap—a low pile height well-suited to swinging and sliding doors, among many clearance-conscious design applications.
